Datasite

Datasite builds software for M&A dealmakers. Its technical work spans SaaS platform development, artificial intelligence, machine learning and information security, applied to a product that carries financial transactions through deal sourcing, preparation, due diligence and post-merger integration. The company's own history runs from typesetting to financial printing to SaaS, and it treats rigorous security standards and data protection as core requirements rather than additions. The Datasite Platform serves 1.6m users in more than 180 countries. The company draws on 50 years of capital transactions experience, having operated since 1968 under both Merrill Corporation and the Datasite name. It was founded in St. Paul, Minnesota as a family business by Ken and Lorraine Merrill and now runs global operations. Datasite's customers sit in investment banking, private equity, legal services, corporate development and financial printing, and its stated aim for them is to work smarter and faster across the deal lifecycle. Team size and funding are not disclosed.
